Description Brian Lane 2019-02-15 18:29:58 UTC
lorax-composer enforces a 3G minimum image size because of a bug in Anaconda (it didn't calculate the required image size before checking it when using kickstart, so it always wanted at least 3G).

Anaconda 29.19-1 fixed the bug that this was working around. Removing the minimum allows the images, especially filesystem images, to be quite a bit smaller.

2.4G d2270b33-a639-4e79-80ac-f76d75dc2bd9-filesystem.img - with the latest lorax-composer version

3.4G 02be2dda-8d8a-4dc4-9045-bbdbcbb58c26-filesystem.img - with lorax-composer-28.14.23-1.el8.x86_64

In both cases this is the same blueprint and the same image type (ext4-filesystem). Moving to VERIFIED.
